Hackett v. Schmidt:

[Clark2008]

ON IRAQ & PATRIOTISM:

Schmidt: "I'm glad to hear my opponent finally say he stands with the president."

Hackett: "I not only stood with him - I fought for him," shot back Hackett, who returned in March from a seven-month tour of duty with the 1st Marine Division in Ramadi and Fallujah. ...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

ABORTION

Schmidt: "...would love to see" the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade decision ...

Hackett: . "... we need to keep abortions safe, legal and rare!" "Don't tell me how to live my personal life and don't dictate to my wife what decision she makes with her doctor." ...

"I don't want the government in the bedroom any more than I want it in my gun safe or telling me how to worship." ...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

ECONOMY

Schmidt: "We're on the right path, all we need to do is keep moving in the same direction. The key question is, how can we create more jobs in this very diverse district? The president's policies will do that."

Hackett: (who opposes permanent tax cuts) argues that Bush's economic policy;

"(It) darn well isn't working, ..(added that OH-2 has lost thousands of relatively high-paying manufacturing jobs), .... If you think America is on the right track and we need more of the same, I'm not your candidate!" .... "Ask yourself, are you better off today than you were five years ago?
